811 So. 2d 814 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2002)

Opinion

No. 3D01-2291.

March 20, 2002.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Gill Freeman, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Manuel Alvarez, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General and Sandra R. Braverman (Fort Lauderdale), Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and COPE and SHEVIN, JJ.


Although the defendant claims otherwise, it is clear that his failure to make two required monthly reports to his probation officer justifies the revocation of probation under review. See Robinson v. State, 773 So.2d 566 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000); Butler v. State, 775 So.2d 320 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000); Williams v. State, 728 So.2d 287 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999); Jordan v. State, 610 So.2d 616 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992). See Jess v. State, 384 So.2d 328, 329 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980).

It is not necessary in this case to express our view as to how the conflict between our siblings concerning the effect of the failure to submit a single report should be resolved. Compare Carter v. State, ____ So.2d ____ (Fla. 1st DCA Case no. 98-2881, opinion filed, April 30, 1999)[24 FLW D1063], review granted, 740 So.2d 528 (Fla. 1999) (one missed report not enough to support revocation); and Butler v. State, 775 So.2d 320 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000)(same) with Schwartz v. State, 719 So.2d 965 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998) (one missed report enough); Strunk v. State, 728 So.2d 320 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999)(same). But see Jess v. State, 384 So.2d 328, 329 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980).

Affirmed.
